    What is your favorite replacement for SR 4759 in 308 with plain base?

    I have a load using a plain base boolit in 308 with 4759 that doesn't lead and shoots to point of aim at 40 yards in my deer rifle without messing with the scope. Great fun for practice and small game. Down to the last can.

    I see some of the faster powders run higher pressures and would like to find a replacement that is similar to the current load in velocity/pressure.

    What are you using?

    I know a lot of folks that brag on using trail boss, never heard much bad about it, I've been using 4198 for cast loads in 30-30, 308, 30-06 and others with pretty good results for as long as ive been casting for smokeless powder loads, but I've always had bullets in these bottle neck cartridges that have gas checks

    4227 is a pretty close substitute grain for grain, pressures and velocities similar. Not exact by any means, but very close. 2400 would be my next try.
    Good Luck,
    Rick
